So sick of the excuses

The above posters have given excellent advice! Show your confidence during the interviews. Proudly show off your facility and tell a little about your daycare day as you show parents around. ie. "this is our book nook, we have story time everyday and each day a child gets a turn at choosing the book we will read" Give the parents a feel for your daycare so they can picture their child with you. Also, if you have photo's of your dck's playing, crafting etc. post those on the wall in a multi photo frame. It shows you treasure the kids.
I know it is frustrating looking for kids. I always find August/Sept are busy times as mat leave mom's who included the summer in their leave are now searching for care. Good luck!!
